Lindsey Cotton, DO Med., DHSc, MS, FAAIM

Senior Advisor

Life at ADVI Health:

At ADVI Health, Lindsey serves as a senior advisor, where she translates complex clinical and scientific realities into strategy that actually works in the real world—across clinical trial design, regulatory pathways, health system integration, and data integrity. Her role often sits at translating science, policy, and execution, helping teams move promising innovations from “bench science” to “bedside solutions.” In practical terms: part clinical strategist, part translator between medicine and markets, and focused on pressure-testing ideas early to ensure they hold up against the clinical, regulatory, and operational realities of healthcare.

Life Pre-ADVI Health:

Before ADVI, Lindsey spent more than two decades across the healthcare ecosystem—from direct patient care to senior leadership roles with some of the largest biotechnology and healthcare organizations in the industry. Throughout that time, she collaborated with nearly every academic institution across the United States and many internationally, helping shape clinical programs, operational strategy, and cross-sector partnerships designed to move science into practice. In short: a career spent navigating the space between discovery, delivery, and the occasionally chaotic reality of healthcare systems.

Life Beyond ADVI Health:

Outside of work, Lindsey’s greatest joy is family—being a mom to five incredible children and alongside her husband, André, with whom she shares a love for travel, exceptional food, golf, sattire, and making the most of life’s moments. She also have a deep appreciation for plants, the arts, and numerous athletics—activities that provide both creativity and balance. In other words, when she is not thinking about clinical strategy, you’ll likely find her nurturing something—whether that’s a plant, a new place in the world, or a memorable family adventure.
